Hot Wheels Boulevard '86 Ford Thunderbird Pro Stock
The Thunderbird, a two-seater specialty car from Ford, made its debut in 1955.
From the second generation, the 1958 model became a four-seater, and four-door models were available from the fourth and fifth generations, produced between 1967 and 1971.
The Hot Wheels model is inspired by the ninth generation, which transformed from the traditional boxy style to a rounded
aerodynamic form.
This model is not in its normal specification; it has been modified to meet the criteria of the Pro Stock class, which competes in timed events over a 0-1/4 mile (approximately 400m) distance without relying on forced induction (turbochargers or superchargers).
From 1985 to 1987, driver Bob Glidden, who raced this car, was crowned the national winner.
It features an air scoop designed to increase the airflow to the engine.
The coloring reflects the Pro Stock style modifications that were trendy in the 1980s, giving it a Pro Street-style finish.
